Repealing Obamacare (2 Viewers)

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

Paul Ryan and Kellyanne Conway are EXACTLY the kind of Catholics I loathe from the very bottom of my being. It's like they were in the cloak room diddling every time Christianity was being taught. Their parents should have remained childless......

Come on ....cross the line...it's much better on the objective side Marz!

Catholics I loathe from the very bottom of my being.

Really?

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

Absolutely. Theirs' isn't the brand of Catholicism I was raised on. Not even close. And if clowns like Ryan want to limit people's access to healthcare on the public's dime, then congress should be the first to let theirs' go. Why should I pay for it? They don't represent me. And they certainly make enough to pay for theirs' out of their own pocket.....

 

[blue32]

Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck the Republicans and Democrats! Fuck those so-called conservative evangelist who are not real Christians. Fuck all of them. You motherfuckers are trying to take my son's Healthcare Away so FUCK you... he has a pre-existing condition... Fuck you all...

Last time I checked, they are keeping that provision. But, please tell us how you really feel.

You worked in a place that is the fore runner of how we communicate today.

Yeah the geek look came in about that time.

I sort of scanned through the history of IBM as a result of your comment. One thing that struck me was no mention at all of the Time Clock and thereby the Score Board era of IBM.
By the time the Blazers got to town and started using Lewis and Clark's gym as their practice facility, I was the only guy around that even knew what the hell it was hanging up on the wall high above the floor. An IBM Score board! I noticed this the first practice there, it was open to the public. So I went to the College office the next day and made them a deal that I would maintain their score board. I give them a pretty cheap price and got a set of keys to the gym. Got into all the practices I wanted to see, or at least when I could make it.

Ran the scoreboard for some scrimmages, but mostly watch the play. Petrie was a marvel to watch, just way way better than anyone else on the team. Perhaps not in Jim Barnett eyes, but mine and I think Rick Adelmans also. I keep that contract until the Blazers quit using the facility. Don't know what happen to the IBM Score board.

PS. I could do that without any push back from my employer because they had sold that division about 14 years before the Blazers started up. Lewis and Clark was happy to find anyone that knew
how to keep it working. The outfit that bought it from IBM went out of business about 4 or 5 year before the Blazer era, so it was all mine.

My favorite Marz post ever....I would read this book

You seem fixated on this. You seem fixated on the shit that goes on in the black community... makes me wonder about you... you should fix that all the racist Cheeto feces that's going to occupy the White House. Focus on making America great again. What does that mean to you? Re-mancipation?

Weird. Why being upset at black on black crime (over 400 killed in 2016) is being racist. You seem fixated at calling everyone racist. SAD

Thank god the commies lost the senate, house and presidency. Progressivism failed.

Aren't the Russians commies? So they got the presidency, at least.

I come from a family of Irish Catholic Kennedy Democrats who accept gays, are pro choice and progressive thinkers. Don't let a few nutbags jade you.

Russia is a democracy right now. The progressives are trying hard to make the world a communist utopia.

This is 2017. That isn't "mainstream" any more. (If it ever was.)
If "blue collar" means manufacturing jobs, then this is blue collar America:

You'd think it would be a little bit uncomfortable claiming to be Catholic when the ACTUAL FUCKING POPE is against everything you stand for (well, except the abortion stuff, I guess).

Wrong. Those are a bunch of computer programmers sitting in a control room watching a monitor while the machines do the work. Those are WHITE COLLAR JOBS, not Blue Collar Jobs.

THIS is Blue Collar:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue-collar_worker

In English-speaking countries, a blue-collar worker is a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_class']working class

person who performs non-agricultural manual labour. Blue-collar work may involve skilled or unskilled manufacturing, mining, sanitation, custodial work, oil field work, construction, mechanical maintenance, warehousing, firefighting, technical installation and many other types of physical work. Often something is physically being built or maintained.

Democrats and Liberals have as much in common with Blue Collar Workers as the KKK does with black people.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

This is blue collar

Sigh. You totally missed my point. The point was that robots are coming for all the blue collar jobs. Truck Drivers? Gone. Factory workers? Gone. Bus drivers, mailmen, etc. Gone. Construction workers? Gone very soon.

Democrats and Liberals have as much in common with Blue Collar Workers as the KKK does with black people.

I'm sure your mental image of "Democrats and Liberals" as triggered transgender baby-murderers doesn't comport with your sepia tinged memories of the salt-of-the-earth working man, but the fact remains that if there is one force in America that is dedicated to the transfer of wealth away from what remains of the working class, it is the Republican party. The fact that they manage to get votes from them is just down to the power of divide and conquer. It is very telling that all of your "blue collar mainstream middle America" people (as represented from the images you provided) are (a) male and (b) white. I guess if you're not both of those things you're "out of the mainstream".

Oh, and by the way? I live in FLINT, MICHIGAN. Ground zero for Midwest Blue Collar. Half the guys I play pickup basketball with are Auto workers (still a big truck plant in town). Hard to find a Republican among them. I guess they're "out of the mainstream" too. Well, most of 'em ARE black.

LMFAO. That's hilarious. The last time I checked, it wasn't Republicans forcing Obamacare on Middle America. And it wasn't Republicans taxing the little guy.

Snort.

Oh look! There's even WOMEN in there too!

GASP! How can this be?! People like you keep telling me that people who work these jobs are redneck racists!

yeah....Bill Gates and Meryl Streep are really towing the commie line eh? you actually miss Senator McCarthy's black lists and witch hunts I'm guessing mags....what happened to the elite progressives Hillary catered to? They gave all their wealth and material possessions to the poor and needy?

Especially as Democrats keep pushing a for a higher minimum wage....

And here I was thinking Democrats wanted to CREATE jobs.....

Seems like the black lists and witch hunts are alive and well. It's all over TV, if you pay attention.

The only good robots are the ones that vote illegally for the Democrats a few million times.

I pay attention but have yet to see the commies knocking at my door or giving away their toys......mags likes to use the commie line....called me one once

Would those be Chinese-made toys with lead paint in them?

They are blue collar mainstream America. I'm a 3rd generation Union laborer. About a blue collar mainstream as it gets, sucka.

What do you do for work, just out of curiosity.
